19 “You unbelieving generation,” Jesus replied, “how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me.”

20 So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.(A)

21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?”

“From childhood,” he answered. 22 “It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us.”

23 “‘If you can’?” said Jesus. “Everything is possible for one who believes.”(B)

24 Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child.

24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
